static libs

[Lalo Martins <lalo@webcom.com>]

Hi. Since hamm, static linking is considered obsolete, right? Of
course we want to support users who wish to statically link
programs, but it's not the default anymore.

Well, I found out that removing all .a files in my system would
free up about 10M, and I don't have a lot of -dev packages
installed; in cases such as master the gain would probably sum
up to 100M. Shouldn't there be a way for users to get rid of
them apart from su; rm?
